"I provide counselling, psychological assessments, and psycho-educational assessments for children, adolescents, and adults. Psychological assessments use valid and reliable rating scales and clinical interviews to identify mental health concerns. Counselling is a client driven, collaborative process which addresses immediate concerns and develops strategies to improve overall mental health. A Cognitive Behavioral Therapeutic approach will be utilized. Psycho-educational assessments are used to clarify an individual's learning style and academic ability. They may be used to identify giftedness, or to diagnose learning disorders, intellectual disabilities, and behavioral disorders."

"I am a registered member of the College of Psychologists of Ontario. My theoretical framework is a cognitive behavioral style. Essentially, this means therapy involves taking a look at thinking patterns that are getting in the way of progress. Most people are unaware of their thinking patterns and how they influence our emotional state and behavior. Depending on the issue, therapy may involve changing this thinking pattern in a number of different ways. Clients adopt a new thinking style that is more adaptive, leading to healthier and happier lives."

Cognitive Behavioural (CBT) CounsellorsCognitive-behavioral therapy stresses the role of thinking in how we feel and what we do. It is based on the belief that thoughts, rather than people or events, cause our negative feelings. The therapist assists the client in identifying, testing the reality of, and correcting dysfunctional beliefs underlying his or her thinking. The therapist then helps the client modify those thoughts and the behaviors that flow from them. CBT is a structured collaboration between therapist and client and often calls for homework assignments.
